Agree dwaino. Based on the rumoured names linked to the Suns in 2010 and GWS last year being on the money, it's a positive that Lids' name isn't in the news on that front. The rumour mill will continue to be focussed on Goddard and Pendelbury this year.

Franklin will be a million dollar a year player (my estimate $1.0 million -1.2 million a year. Question is which club can afford it in the cap without stuffing up salary management.

Us Ramps.  We have made no secret of the fact that we are positioning ourselves to be able to do this very thing and we have bucketloads of room in our cap already.  Our challenge will be to get as many of our 'required' players onto frontloaded contracts so we can sustain a period of success.  Either that or get some of them an after hours tree-hugging job with Visy.

Watch Carlton magically have room to snatch Franklin from under everyone's noses.

Dead right.....happens all the time, why can't we do it and why can the big teams with surely NO room left in the salary cap... :huh

Franklin will not be leaving the Hawks. The talk of this happening is laughable  :lol I guess we have nothing more to talk about, so let's imagine:

Frankline, Riewoldt, Vickery, Griffths all in our forward line!  :gotigers Premiers in 2013-14-15-16-17  :birthday

I suspect that Franklin will end up being a Richo style one club player. He even has similar characteristics to our Beloved Richo as he makes the impossible look easy and the easy look impossible.  ;D

I agree, he will be a one club player. Franklin though will go down as a better player in the books than Richo. He has also already won 2 Coleman's and a Premiership medallion. From a fan's and Tigers perspective though, there will never be an equal to Richo!  :bow :cheers

I agree with whoever suggested trading Riewoldt for Buddy.

I think it's unfair to include premierships won when comparing players as that is a reflection of the team they play for rather than the player them self.
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

I wasn't so much comparing the players based on the Premieship medallion, moving more towards Buddy is in a successful team. If we were going down that path you would have idiots claiming Mooney was the bees knees as he has 3 Premiership medals.  :rollin

So just to clarify, in the books Buddy will be better because he has won 2 Coleman's, is a freak of a player and is in successful side as opposed to Richo.

 :lol agrree about Mooney.

it just seems to be a habit of people to include premiership medallions when comparing players.

I could find good reason for both of them to leave, but not so much Franklin.
